The present study investigated smoking prevalence, smoking motives, demographic variables and psychological symptoms in 124 help-seeking, male Vietnam combat veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). A high percentage of these veterans smoked (60%). Vietnam veterans with PTSD who smoked were more likely than those who did not smoke to report higher levels of PTSD symptoms, depression and trait anxiety. Increased depression was associated with increased automatic smoking. Smokers reported a high frequency of smoking in response to military memories. Implications for smoking interventions, cessation, and relapse prevention efforts are discussed.
本研究调查了124名寻求帮助的患有创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的越南男性退伍军人的吸烟率、吸烟动机、人口统计学变量和心理症状。这些退伍军人中有很高比例的人吸烟（60%）。患有PTSD的越南退伍军人吸烟者比不吸烟者更有可能报告更高水平的PTSD症状、抑郁和特质焦虑。抑郁加剧与自动吸烟增加有关。吸烟者报告称，出于对军事记忆的反应，吸烟频率很高。文中讨论了对吸烟干预、戒烟和预防复发努力的启示。
